this has been going on for years in iowa, my friend, former colleague, jim leach and i had written about that, it's happening in california, in arizona, even a little bit in florida. that is part of the problem because democrats nationally got more than a million more votes than republicans who ran for the house of representatives. yet they come into this with a 35-vote margin. and there are some areas where, in north carolina, there were more votes for democrats than republicans, but there are only 20 -- -- but only 27% of the representatives are democrats. that is part of the problem. it confuses this notion about mandate. after all the president won decisively, the senate actually picked up ground, and we had a million more votes nationwide for the house of representatives. that doesn't sound like much of a national mandate to continue the policies of they have republicans over the last decade or so. host: let's go to our next caller, david, ohio, republican. caller: good morning. being a regular person on a budget, i can only get the things that i can pay for. i would love to be able
